2. Spring works


First two months of the year was on average lower in temperatures and also in March was minimal temperatures below O C. Quick warmness in third decade of March was accompanied by big rainfalls and it together has created floats of approx 180 ha of hopgardens, out of them 60 ha in Saaz and 45 ha in Auscha. These hopgardens was hit just temporary and even on these hopgardens spring works started. Due weather conditions started spring works approx. one week later than usual, anyway hop cuting was done in time(10.4. – 24.4.). Due optimal weather development in April will be even training of the hops started in usual time( 8. – 10.5.).
